You Couldn't Make It Up

Time for us to run
From these strangers
Since we let them in
Haven't seen us
Where d'you think you are
I'm sorry
Who you talking to
Got the key to the house but it can't be used

CHORUS
You couldn't make it up
You couldn't make it up
You couldn't make it up if you tried
Are you and I in love?
Are you and I in love?
How do you fall apart
Come and see me
Been staring at the dust
On the TV screen
All your friends
They don't know you
In the end
The years rush on but they take so long

CHORUS

Are we skating six feet under the ice?
We try to make things up
We try to make things up

My life passes me by
I waste every minute
Every minute
Trying hard to find the right moment
To begin it

Dropping off the girls
Through the front door
A strange man's coat
Was hanging in the hall

CHORUS

I need you, I need you
Sorry I need you
I forgot that I need you
